Now you can setup automated emails to be sent to your students in this cases: when invoice is generated when a due exists for specified number of days when the invoice is paid on student’s birthday when the students misses a specified number of classes when student joins your school. All these “triggers” can be set if you go to “emails” and select “auto email” on the left menu. Before you set the triggers, you need to have email templates ready to use with those triggers. So, you will need to create a few email templates in “email” section (depending on how many triggers you want to add) with appropriate codes inserted.

This way your students can pay the invoice via PayPal (you must enable PayPal integration in settings) directly by clicking the link that they receive in e-mail. If you have automatic invoice generation feature on (read more here), the emails are sent immediately after the invoice is generated by the system. If you don’t generate invoices automatically, the emails are sent after you generate them by clicking the “generate invoices” button in “invoices” page. After your template is ready, you go to “auto email” page and setup the trigger. You select “On invoice created” trigger and the template you created. You can track the sent emails in “sent” page or in history in “emails” page. They will marked with “[auto]” in the subject – meaning they ware generated and sent by the trigger you have set. Sending due notifications automatically If you want to warn your students about a due they have, you can set the “On invoice due” trigger. You will need to prepare a template probably with “{tdue}” code to display the total due amount. This trigger requires an extra parameter – the number of days due – meaning, after how many days (X), counting from last...
